HARPEX AQUILES - Rifle Test

Added: 2026-05-08

[00:00:00]World's worst pellets. Once again, what the fudge are these? We are back with these things. We did a pistol video, the accuracy, then we did penetration and it was rubbish. A lot of you guys commented I should have used a rifle. So, I'm finally back to put it right. The FX Streamline 22, very powerful rifle. Same as the first video, we're going to test the accuracy at 20 yards this time and then we're going to do a penetration test against the exact same pellets as we did last time. Gamo Red Fire and these things. Was it because I used a pistol last time or are these pellets actually rubbish? Cuz as I said last time, you can get a massive variety of these. There's There's a massive range of these H&N pellets, these weird-looking things. I've never seen anything like this.

[00:00:39]Now, what I have 20 yards, accuracy with these Excite H&N pellets, H&N, whatever they are. The main problem is if you look at the size difference between these pellets and normal ones.

[00:00:48]>> [bell] >> This is an 18-round magazine. They don't fit. So, first of all, they're a pain for that. I've got to put them in one at a time. Remember, grouping 414. Do five shots. Are these actually any good?

[00:01:05]Think that one was a mile out.

[00:01:07]Obviously, it's not been zeroed in for these pellets, but it is zeroed in, so the grouping should be fine. Okay. I think that one hit miles to the left, so I'm going to aim for center, but right across here, at the edge of the target.

[00:01:25]No, that one went to the right. Didn't that one go to the right that time? I'll stick to the center of the target.

[00:01:32]There. Right. Finally have a marker. I was aiming for dead center there, you've just seen, but that's where it is. But that's one shot.

[00:01:46]Well, I aimed for the five. These are the five that I aimed here for, the deadness.

[00:01:50]Aimed here. We hit two here, one here, one here and one here. That's quite a big difference. But I'm sure that was a one as well at the start.

[00:02:00]Before we see how terrible they are, we'll just normal domed pellets. This bit is quite clear. We'll do five shots here with them. Just make sure the rifle is actually pretty consistent. Oh, we've got plenty of pellets in the magazine.

[00:02:11]First of all, look at this. They're terrible. The size of them are way too long. They're terrible for that.

[00:02:16]So far, the five shots at the bottom of the target.

[00:02:23]So, this time I was aiming here. Doesn't matter where I was aiming. It's a grouping. That's the grouping there.

[00:02:29]It wasn't very far off. That's the I mean, that's not great. I'm not the best, but that there compared to from there up to there.

[00:02:38]And we know, I'm sure when I was aiming there, that's what that one was. I'll look back at the footage. I mean, it could be the rifle, but the difference in that to that, I think, is a lot. In my first video, I said I said these sucked and a lot of people said, "You used a pistol. You have to use a rifle. You're not giving them a fair shot."

[00:02:54]First of all, they don't fit in rifles.

[00:02:56]They balance off, yes, but they don't fit in magazines, not this one.

[00:03:00]And the accuracy is terrible.

[00:03:02]See them again, the only thing left they can possibly be any good for is penetration.

[00:03:08]Let's So, we're going to compare the three now.

[00:03:10]Now, this time we're going to put five bits of plasterboard together and we're just going to tape them together solidly. Which one goes in the furthest?

[00:03:16]No gaps in between. Assuming we can actually hit it with the weird H&N things. All right, we're just going to shoot all three pellets into this and then go get it.

[00:03:25]But while it's a blank canvas, we're going to use one of these ones, so we can actually have a chance of hitting the actual thing.

[00:03:30]We can kind of hit them with the other ones at least.

[00:03:37]Ooh, just got the bottom. Say what, I'm going to do one more.

[00:03:41]Because it's near the bottom, it could be the weak point.

[00:03:43]I'll aim for the top this time.

[00:03:51]That's the Excite H&N, the weird one.

[00:03:54]This is the Storm domed that we just used. Go somewhere higher. We'll go right up top there.

[00:04:04]There we go. That's the Storm. And then we have the good old favorite, Gamo Red Fire.

[00:04:08]Now, when I did these with the pistol, all three penetrated the same. But these, those are just domed, the Storms.

[00:04:14]These are armor-piercing ones and these H&N ones are god knows what. These ones do go in the magazine, but I'm only firing one.

[00:04:23]There we go.

[00:04:26]These are without doubt the worst pellets in the world. I mean, there it is, stuck in the board sideways.

[00:04:33]So, it's not done anything.

[00:04:35]The first one was completely sideways.

[00:04:37]Wasn't even going straight.

[00:04:38]So, these two are the H&N ones. That's the Storm domed, Gamo Red Fire. First one off.

[00:04:45]Oh, it actually went all the way through sideways, that one.

[00:04:48]That's one bit. Quite a bulge there.

[00:04:49]There are the two Excite ones. We can see the other two did The other two did more damage.

[00:04:54]More penetration. That was just damage.

[00:04:59]More dents.

[00:05:00]Nothing on the third one.

[00:05:03]Oh, there's the There's the Storm pellet actually stuck in.

[00:05:07]Can get that out of there.

[00:05:10]There we go.

[00:05:13]It's actually stuck in there, so that's much more penetration.

[00:05:15]That one feels a little bit deeper. You can feel the two lumps there and there. Bit of a bigger bulge there.

[00:05:23]They suck.

[00:05:24]I mean, look at how they travel. Look at how they travel. Both upside down.

[00:05:29]They all damaged the second board, but the Storm domed and the Red Fires actually pierced the second board a bit.

[00:05:35]These ones just dented. It was more like a blunt force than a piercing force, if you know what I mean.

[00:05:40]And they were like sideways.

[00:05:42]So, the accuracy is terrible. They don't fit in guns.

[00:05:46]They tumble through the air and they don't pierce anything even as well as a normal. The only thing you could think was a good reason for any of the I mean, this is the only one I tried and there is loads, like I've said. But the only thing I said last time, the only good thing would be for for penetration.

[00:06:02]But it's just twirling around everywhere. It's as if it's been hit already. And that World's worst pellets. Everyone said I should have tried giving them a chance with a rifle.

[00:06:12]Now I have. World's worst. Dumb bar.
